—Where No Right to Jury Trial in

Nonsummary Proceeding

In a nonsummary contempt proceeding, if the

judicial authority declares in advance of trial that

the total effective sentence, if the defendant is

found guilty, shall not exceed thirty days imprisonment, or a fine of $99, no right to jury trial shall

affix. If the total effective sentence may exceed

thirty days or a fine in excess of $99, the defendant

shall be accorded the right to a jury trial.

(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 993.) (Amended June 28, 1999, to

take effect Jan. 1, 2000.)
